作为联通欧亚两大市场的枢纽地带，中东欧地区在“一带一路”建设中的角色和作用历来受到我国的高度重视。随着希腊加入中国-中东欧国家合作机制，中国与中东欧国家在“17+1”框架下共建“一带一路”的合作又迈上了新台阶。当前，中国与中东欧国家共建“一带一路”的政策沟通日益成熟，设施联通、贸易畅通、资金融通和民心相通也不断取得丰硕成果。总体上看，上海在服务中东欧地区“一带一路”建设过程中扮演着独特而重要的角色，在经贸促进、金融开放、科创引领、人文交流等领域优势显著。现阶段，上海与中东欧国家的贸易虽有较大增长，但占全国的比重仍然较低，上海企业在中东欧国家的投资规模也相对较小。未来，上海应牢牢抓住“五个中心”“四大品牌”建设以及实施中央交给上海“三大任务一大平台”的历史性契机，在全面提升城市能级和核心竞争力的过程中当好高质量服务中东欧地区“一带一路”建设的“桥头堡”。
As a transit hub connecting European and Asian markets，Central and Eastern Europe（CEE）has been playing a key role in China’s Belt and Road Initiative（BRI）. Since Greece joined the “16+1” mechanism which was then upgraded into “17+1”，cooperation between China and Central and Eastern European Countries（CEECs）on jointly promoting the BRI has entered into a new stage，with numerous achievements on the five pillars of policy coordination，infrastructure connectivity，unimpeded trade，financial integration and people-to-people bond. Over the past few years，Shanghai has made unique contributions in the BRI development in CEE，showing its strengths in the fields of trade and finance，scientific and technological innovation as well as people-to-people exchanges. Particularly，closer trade and economic ties are witnessed while huge potentials for cooperation can still be tapped between Shanghai and CEE countries. In the future，Shanghai needs to seize the invaluable opportunities of implementing national strategies，namely the three new major tasks and one platform，as well as developing “Five Centers” and “Four Brands”，to enormously increase its urban functional level and core competitiveness and make itself a gateway of better serving the BRI development in CEE.
